Jesus Wept - My 3 favorite Addicted Image Sets
Hi!
I think I have seen the inside of planes/hotels/rental cars/convention halls more than my own house in the last couple months. I know that being busy es bueno, but Lord, whomever took me up on my request that I have an interesting life shouldn't been so literal. LOL!
Like a couple other posters have stated, I look at pretty much every set posted on Zivity.com. Usually I take away thoughts like, "oo! have to work with that model" or "dang, gonna have to watch that photographer in the future."...but the first time I logged into the site, back in the beta days, I discovered AddictiveImage's work. Pardon my french, but fuck, that man can take a picture of a nude girl. Pretty much knew at that moment that Zivity was a place that would make me strive to produce a better set every time I picked up a camera.
Conan just got into a motorcycle accident and is not as active here lately as he would like, so I figured that it was a good day to point out my favorite sets he has posted
As cool as it may be, a DeLorean DMC-12 is an underpowered alumium pig in the 80's automotive history books. AddictedImage and Mischa manage to let it glow and gleam with all the potential awesomeness that the Back to the Future Series only hinted at:
(for the record, Mischa could pose next to a beat-up Prius and make it look cool and bad-ass.)
Like most of the members here, I'm a Watson fan...love her in front of the camera and enjoy hoisting a beer with our favorite redhead anytime of the day or night.What a way to meet this Texan petite ball of fury than her debut set with AddictedImage - almost monochromatic palette with all the soft fabric filling the frame. So much promise glimpsed in 56 frames.
One thing I really love about Zivity is the free-form set guidelines. Unlike other sites I have shot for in the past, here you can stretch out and pretty much post what you need to get your point across. Conan's open love letter to Mischa when she was going thru health issues in "Darth Vader..." was just made me wish I was a better person.
Darth Vader doesn't wake up at 7am
Go look at Conan's sets, drop a note (and/or some votes) here and there and remember, if there is someone that needs to be pointing a camera at things and showing the world the twisted inner beauty - it's Conan.
(I won't lie, I wrote this blog for purely selfish reasons, I want to see more of his work wherever & whenever I can.)
